That area bordering Lindenwood is still known as "The Hole". It's a mob dumping ground.
A lot of the raising of streets and sewage work is still ongoing. The area was a swamp where the sources of those streams that go into Howard Beach, etc originated and there were many farms there until only a few decades ago. Kinda like pre-1910 Sunnyside Yards or the Sunswick valley in Astoria/LIC (the area around 21st St) or the area in Corona that became LeFrak City.
There are houses in The Hole built well after the IND where the first floors are now basements and the second floors are first floors due to subsequent street raising.

None of this has to do with the mythical 76th St station.
The link to the NYC aerial maps clearly shows that there was nothing of note at that intersection in 1951 which would have been around the time when this conspiracy allegedly started.
